Are we talking about profile view heading, heading of posts or inline mentions?

In yarnd I recall there is a setting for changing the heading of posts, but not for the two others as of yet.
I like the hover option for inline mentions. For the other places some like how yarnd does it in two line or “ nick (domain.tld) ” could also work.

↳ In-reply-to » Well that was fun! 🤩 I was being attacked directly (bypasses Cloudflare somehow) and whatever dafuq that was was killing my ingress and causing it to get OOM killed 😱 I was seeing 100s of requests per second!!! 😱

Here’s a visual of what happened before I firewalled off all web traffic to force it to go through Cloudflare. Don’t even ask me how my IP addresses got found out, but either this is malicious, incompetent or my wider ISP is being DDoS’d (it’s happened before).

2024 was a funny year: The year begins and ends with calendar week 1:

The one in January being 2024-W01 and the one in December 2025-W01.

(Hmmm, my printed LaTeX calendar using tikz-kalender gets it wrong or uses different week definitions. It shows next week as 53. 🤔)

I’ve been making a little toy operating system for the 8086 in the last few days. Now that was a lot of fun!

I don’t plan on making that code public. This is purely a learning project for myself. I think going for real-mode 8086 + BIOS is a good idea as a first step. I am well aware that this isn’t going anywhere – but now I’ve gained some experience and learned a ton of stuff, so maybe 32 bit or even 64 bit mode might be doable in the future? We’ll see.

It provides a syscall interface, can launch processes, read/write files (in a very simple filesystem).

Here’s a video where I run it natively on my old Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (and Warp 3 later in the video, because why not):

(Sorry for the skewed video. It’s a glossy display and super hard to film this.)

It starts with the laptop’s boot menu and then boots into the kernel and launches a shell as PID 1. From there, I can launch other processes (anything I enter is a new process, except for the exit at the end) and they return the shell afterwards.

And a screenshot running in QEMU:

↳ In-reply-to » Goodbye Blender, I guess? 🤔

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Mostly small and simple stuff, like cable management, headphone rests, pill dispensers (that I didn’t end up using), … The most elaborate thing I made was that contraption for my keyboard, which is a bit hard to explain right now, so here’s some photos:

I didn’t end up using that, either. 🥴

In general, I print very little. So little that some of my supplies have simply gone bad, like that “3D LAC” (sprayable glue).

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yeah, I saw that when googling the issue. I’m on Linux, there are no DLLs to swap. I could use an older version indeed. 🤔 Let’s see if I can find some better alternative first. (Let’s face it, Blender is hard to use.)

“A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 4.3 or higher is required. Installing the latest driver for your graphics card might resolve the issue.”

A bit annoying, but not much of a problem. The only thing I did with Blender was make some very simple 3D-printable objects.

I’ll have a look at the alternatives out there. Worst case is I go back to Art of Illusion, which I used heavily ~15 years ago.

@prologic@twtxt.net sure! I don’t know if this is what you need but, let me give it a try.

  • I have Timeline installed, which has an endpoint to process #webmentions. Mine for example is https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmention which you can find by querying https://aelaraji.com/.well-known/webfinger.
  • If you mention someone from #Timeline itself, it takes care of querying that and sending in the mention for you.
  • Otherwise (what I personally do) you could just:
curl -i -d 'source=https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt#:~:text=2024-12-09T01:22:37Z' -d 'target=https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt' https://aelaraji.com/timeline/webmention

basically what @sorenpeter@darch.dk mentioned in his article Here.

Afterwards, the mentions are stored in their own mentions.txt feed. The one from the example above looks like this on my Timeline :

Feel free to spam my endpoint if you’d like to give things a try. 👍

[P.S: personally, I don’t seem to get the mentions if I add the Text fragment part to my target]

↳ In-reply-to » Finally, the message rendering in my tt Go rewrite produces some colors. There is definitely a lot more tweaking necessary. But this is a first step in the right direction.

Thank you @bender@twtxt.net and @movq@www.uninformativ.de!

I partially fixed the code block rendering. With some terrible hacks, though. :-( I see that empty lines in code block still need some more work. There are also some other cases around line continuation where the result looks ugly. I have to refactor some parts to make this go more smoothly and do this properly. No way around that.

Turns out, my current message text parser does not even parse plain links. That’s next on the agenda.

Oh, I also noticed that this thing crashes when there is not enough space to actually draw stuff. No shortage of work. Anyway, time is up, good night. :-)

Was just catching up on all the LinkedIN garbage that is well umm garbage 🗑️ One was from a candidate I interviewed, so I had to reply to that 😅 – Anyway…. Saw this random post in my “notifications”:

How do land that job with a Unicorn

First off, you’ll have to define what da fuq a “Unicorn” is! 🤣 My understanding a Unicorn is a mythical creature with a horn on its head and wings 🪽 🤦‍♂️

xfce’s default Alt+Scroll feels more convenient and you get to zoom in as much as you want as needed before things become indistinguishable, here you can see my original cursor overlapping to magnified one (it only showed during screenshot)
